I made this necklace, with WWED, What Would Elrond do? Whenever I'm in a stuck I just look at the necklace, and then decide what would elrond do. Ok, sorry for the sarcasm, I'll get serious.

I wouldn't say it made me a better person, I agree with many of Tolkien's views, and so it's given me insight to the world, and world issues. Seeing that Tolkien (and not only him that's influenced me but also Orwell), both were satiric writers, and wrote a lot about the nature of humans.

That doesn't mean I'm some raving pessimistic misanthrope like Denethor, but it's simply given me insight to our human self, and our society. But, I wouldn't say I became a better spiritual, or morally good man because of LOTR, if that's what you are looking for.
